A lot of photos don’t turn out. They have various technical problems like focus, exposure, etc. However every once in a while you get one that is technically bad, but it still works. Here is an example:
I don’t think any part of the flower is in focus, it was probably inside the minimum focal distance for the lens (I don’t have a macro lens), and some parts also look over exposed, but I still really like how it turned out. The colors are so vivid, it kinda screams at you. It almost has a painted quality to it. For some reason, it just seems to work. I’m currently using it as a desktop background.
Or it’s just a bad photo that I’m rationalizing into a good photo. 😉
